Buffaloed in Pa Posted May 16, 2014 Posted May 16, 2014 Mack signs with Raiders. Could Parker play more hardball ?
NoSaint Posted May 16, 2014 Posted May 16, 2014 (edited) Given we got him at 4, it's early enough that there should not be any hard ball to play. The dollars are slotted and we should be giving him all the standard top 5 perks (ie fully guaranteed) Edited May 16, 2014 by NoSaint
SBUffalo Posted May 16, 2014 Posted May 16, 2014 Couple things: 1. It'll probably happen within the next two weeks. 2. Nearly impossible to play hardball with the new rookie scale. 3. !@#$! I didn't know Eugene Parker was his agent. Almost makes me pissed we made the move for him now.
Dirtbag Posted May 16, 2014 Posted May 16, 2014 whaley should just cut to the chase and franchise sammy right now.
CountryCletus Posted May 16, 2014 Posted May 16, 2014 Sammy seems like he is eager to get in and play ball, not mess with things he can't really control, he will be signed within 10 days
BobDVA Posted May 16, 2014 Posted May 16, 2014 Parker will have him hold out and force a trade, forth round pick would be my guess.
johnwalter Posted May 16, 2014 Posted May 16, 2014 this is the most boring thread of the year rookie contracts are effectively preset
Not at the table Karlos Posted May 16, 2014 Posted May 16, 2014 He will hold out until the end of training camp. Get no.83 and 14 shaved into his head, make a rap song then have kujo tell him to earn his fing money.
Pills -N- Bills Posted May 16, 2014 Posted May 16, 2014 this is the most boring thread of the year rookie contracts are effectively preset ??? So dont read it
SmokinES3 Posted May 16, 2014 Posted May 16, 2014 Can't blame him for retaining Parker. He's a douche... and exactly the douche I would hire in Sammy's position. Same thing with Boras in MLB. It's ignorant not to go with the guys that get their clients the most financial security consistently.
RussellDopeland Posted May 16, 2014 Posted May 16, 2014 ??? So dont read it He can't help it. This thread is like a NASCAR race- sure it's nothing but a bunch of rednecks driving around in circles for hours, but people watch holding out hope that there's a fiery ten car pileup. We posters are always looking for that thread that devolves into utter chaos. This one has potential.

Well, better sign him to the 5yr deal. He`ll be gone after that.
Kirby Jackson Posted May 16, 2014 Posted May 16, 2014 The only potential hold up is whether or not there is offset language. Typically top 5 picks don't have offset language but Mack's contract does. If the Bills try to put it in it may drag some. Otherwise he will be signed soon.

You have to think they are prepared to give the full dollars and concessions that are customary and there's really not much else Watkins side could conceivably ask for.
MarkAF43 Posted May 16, 2014 Posted May 16, 2014 ahhhhh this stupid mickey mouse organization. when will you all realize you're just drinking the Kool-Aid? Wake up! this team is doooooooomed. ****please do not read if your sarcasm monitor is outdated******

Agree, Bandit & I were talking about it yesterday. He said that the highest drafted player with offset language prior to Mack was taken 8th overall. I would have to think that the Bills will concede on that. I just hope that the Mack contract didn't open pandora's box. I think that you are dead on though. The Bills love Watkins so I don't see them picking this battle.
